Quote for the Day

"We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and
solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek - Jesus,
her Son."
-Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

Welcome to Montfort Fathers

Montfort's successors were called "Mulotins", as well as priests or missionaries. In 1919, the General Chapter confirms the designation "MISSIONARIES OF THE COMPANY OF MARY' (SocietasMariaeMontfortana). Fr. Henri Richard, (former General) wrote in a circular letter dated May 21, l919, "From now on, to designate the Company with a single word, we will use the word 'MONTFORTIANI, in Latin 'Montfortanus"'.S.M.M. is a foundation that Montfort's successors will have to carry out.The aspect of strong and pure faith we find in his PRAYER FOR MISSIONARIES.
